When Newport started selling their Scania N113 Striders they were picked off by a wide range of operators and have given good service on their second lives. 5 were acquired by Lough Swilly in Northern Ireland but operate almost exclusively in the Republic of Ireland. With a day or so spare I nipped over to nail these vehicles before their age becomes the downfall probably next year. Individual vehicles are often difficult to trace in the LS fleet due to the geographical spread of the company and out-basing throughout the region. With some friendly help though I did manage to track them all down. This is 523 which was originally M76KTG on its regular school contract deep in the Irish countryside one morning last week. Acquired in July 2009 it is one of 4 in the yellow livery with the 5th vehicle in cream fleet livery.

Lightweight bipedal weapons platforms. These are heavily influenced by the Gekkos from MGS, although I have changed several aspects, particularly the visual sensors (the black cluster on their noses)
(Unknown species), Family: Gerridae
The Gerridae are a family of insects in the order Hemiptera, commonly known as water striders, water bugs, pond skaters, water skippers, or jesus bugs.
Water striders are anatomically built to transfer their weight to be able to run on top of the water's surface. As a result, one could likely find water striders present in any pond, river, or lake. Scientists have identified over 1,700 species of gerrids, 10% of them being marine.
Water striders are able to walk on top of water due to a combination of several factors. Water striders use the high surface tension of water and long, hydrophobic legs to help them stay above water.
Water striders are aquatic predators and feed on invertebrates, mainly spiders and insects, that fall onto the water surface. Water striders are attracted to this food source by ripples produced by the struggling prey. The water strider uses its front legs as sensors for the vibrations produced by the ripples in the water. The water strider punctures the prey item's body with its proboscis, injects salivary enzymes that break down the prey's internal structures, and then sucks out the resulting fluid.
....so the friend that had the graflex on the shelf has some really nice and unusual plants and flowers in their magical gardens..Although the light was hard for me, as well as the necessary concentration for focus-es...I did manage to get a few nice macros or impressions...
captured in barcelona, where the vibe of the city pulses through the streets, a man exits the resstaurant vinitus with a stride reflecting the casual elegance of the catalan capital. his style speaks without words, a narrative of confidence woven into the fabric of his shirt, the drape of his jacket. shades rest on his face, not just to shield from the mediterranean sun, but as an accent of his persona. the blue hues of the doorway behind him seem to announce his presence, a quiet proclamation of sophistication. as he walks, the tattoos peek from under his sleeves, hints of stories etched in ink, adding layers to the man's enigmatic allure. every step is a brushstroke in the portrait of a city that dresses not just in fashion, but in an attitude of composed assurance.
A rarely sighted beast in the South West, this Alexander Strider bodied Dennis Lance was operating for Alpha Coaches of Honiton during the Sidmouth Folk week.

Newport Strider L69EKG which has been a member of the Robinsons of Appleby fleet for some years, now moving on to a new home. The door intentionally left part open on "single control" to illustrate a once common useful feature on Newport vehicles.
'Hell Striders' - I haven't painted an illustration from my 'Exotic Slaughter' world for some time, but have had lots of ideas in my sketchbook just waiting for the time to be bought to life! So here's the 'Hell Striders' - Huge, genetically engineered creatures, tethered to vast gas filled airships, that pump flammable gases down to them, channeled through umbilicals, a capable of projecting the flames hundreds of metres across the battlefields and trenches of WW1. Two handlers ride on it's back, controlling the fire spitting, temperamental beasts, and ensuring the gas supply from the airships is constant. Great herds of these monsters, slowly stride across non mans land, spewing inferno's and death as they sweep by. Feel free to share....
If not for the striding fellow, this pic may not have made it to Flickr :) .
The Windhover Hall inside the Milwaukee Art Museum. From mam.org - Awash in white with exquisite marble flooring, this magnificent light-filled grand reception hall boasts a 90-foot-high glass ceiling located directly below the Burke Brise Soleil and serves as the gateway to the Museum. The site of exhibition openings, brunches, weddings, and art fairs, among other special events, Windhover Hall—whose lake side is often compared to the prow of a ship—is open to the public without charge during regular Museum hours.

Holman Street ferry station, Brisbane River. You can see how they have kept the old ferry building in the front which compared to the new ones is very basic, typical Queensland weatherboards. Part of the structure of the new station can be seen behind the lady coming off the ferry. Holman Street is at Kangaroo Point and right across from the eastern end of the city and Eagle Street, from which a cross river ferry runs.
